# data[].attributes.body
Simile
They said that two different things, the painter moving around and the dancers from old time music movies, were similar to each other with the word "like".

It was effective because you can imagine how they were moving like without seeing it.
They could have use this to make you imagine what the painter could have been moving like or was similar to without saying how the were moving in plain word.
This is helpful because it is easy or easy in a visual way for us to understand the character and plot, from what you could see from them and the story moving / changing throughout.

# data[].attributes.body
Simile
It has two "as" and shows that there was nothing to do with them just like how they were concerned with it.

It was effective because it shows how they were not part o the scheme or was something similar to that.
They might haves includes this piece of figure language for they wanted to relate the two things for use to understand more easily.
You can learn that the character did not do the scheme and you know the plot is there was something that happened in the story.

"He wrapped his arms around my waist and stared into my eyes, his own glittering with delight" (The Elite, p.37)

# data[].attributes.body
Personification
I knew this from the, " my eyes, his own glittering with delight." People's eyes don't usually sparkle unless there was light but they didn't say it was from the light and was with delight instead.

This was effective because it shows how his emotions can be read, for example like the joy, pride, or "delight" that was shown in the sentence.
The author could have used it to make it to make it more interesting in that moment and it would show the perspective feeling he was showing in a way.
We learn more about what that character was feeling without the author or character saying what the character was feeling.

It was interesting to learn in the other person's perspective that they were mad when you were drawing on the walls or something. When I was younger I was very curious so I drew stuff on walls because it was fun. But I didn't understand what it must have felt for the person that had to be there. I learned that people must have hurt in a way from their perspective.

In most of the scene of this book it shows a girl with a normal life at school and at home but in all of these Parts from 1 through all of them I we can see or read that the main character, Sakura, would have these magic cards that she had to collect and use them when needed to help others. This made me learn a new experience from this character by seeing how it take responsibility and power to have the strength to protect and greater power.

In one of the scene the main character describes that Hakeen had messed with her room and that he would cause trouble in her room where he can get his hands on. Then her mother or family members will scold her for all the problems. I can relate to this in some sort of way because I have family that came to our house, the kid came into my room got into places that could maybe not get but they still got it and I was blamed for when they caused the trouble.

"Once at Safeway when I was with Mom grocery shopping because there was a sale on milk. She was coming down the aisle with Dad, the two of them with a cart full of things that weren’t on sale, no coupon ads in hand." (Half-A-Moon, p.2)

# data[].attributes.body
Denotation: coupon are for making stuff cheaper or free
Connotation: they can't afford the normal price
The negative feeling/mood that is shown are that they are poor and can't buy the normal price unlike her father's new family.

The author might have used this phrase to explain what kind of situation the main character is in, instead of saying just what they are going threw to know more about how poor she is.
It added to the story a situation that you can understand the feeling of maybe being poor.
We can learn in more about the main character because we can see that she is poor and can't afford full price stuff while the father that left her family and made another could afford stuff with their normal price.

"I think maybe I should say something since I am a fake big sister to Mercy and a real big (half) sister to Brooke. If Mrs. Thompson was standing here, she’d be disappointed and tell me that she expects more from me. If Mom was standing here, she’d be disappointed and tell me it’s not Brooke’s fault my dad left." (Half a moon, p.4)

(Half a moon, p.4)

# data[].attributes.body
Denotation: a big half sister is someone that is related in blood that has one of the same parents as the other
Connotation: they are like a leader that you can look up to
This is a negative mood/feeling because the main character is disappointed/ashamed of herself, that she is not helping her half sister and getting made at the half sister even though it was her father's fault.

The author used this phrase because it was to show her feelings and expressing it without just saying it, to make it more interesting.
It added more understanding to her situation and her feelings that you can see her point of view by the way it kind of explains or phrase it.
We learn/understand about the character that she feels bad that she is mad and being mean to her half little sister by not helping but she is still upset about her father leaving.

“Black cottonwoods are also known as healing trees, as they are good for healing all types of pains and inflammations. Some say this tree possesses the balm of Gilead because of the nutrients that hide in the buds and bark. Throughout centuries people have made salves from the tree to heal all kinds of ailments.” (Half A Moon, p.4)

# data[].attributes.body
Denotation: a plant that produces cotton
Connotation: something that heals all types of pain
It was positive because it shows the feeling that it will heal and is something that will fix things, relating to any pain there is in the story.

The author might have used this phrase to show people a little hint that there will be something that will be fixed in the sister's relationship.
It add to the story another story line in a way or a flow that shows something good will happen later in the story while giving a somewhat small hint.
We learn more about the plot because you know that the cotton is for fixing pain and that it might heal the pain of someone's pain, mainly the main character and her half little sister in the story from her having the pain from her father leaving her then being with his new family that has her half little sister in it.

In the Great War, it was the start of a big war that involved almost all the countries but mostly in the European area. There were lots of people dying and trying to fight for their land. Even though we have wars sometimes, it isn't as big as the world wars that have most of the countries participating. There are some trouble around Europe but it isn't really Europe so there is a bit of a difference in that too.

In this series it is a story about girls in competition for the prince, Maxon. But in this book there are less competition from the elimination from the first book. I learned in this book about the competition in wanting a person's and the feeling between the women most of the time. There was a feeling of jealousy, petty, and stuff like anger. I knew that sometimes similar to these would happen, but it was like a new eye to see it in a different perspective because she was one of those girls. Plus she didn't give up on the guy unlike me, then showed these emotions like the others.

There was the first Halloween party for the parents and the girls still in the selection. She was in the sidelines, jealous of the other girls because of Maxon and trying to hang out with her friend, plus the other girls.  I connect this somewhat because when I was younger at school, they had a party for the students and there were some parents that would come to help though. In the party I was on the sidelines like America, jealous of the other kids mostly but for a different reason, candy. Everyone tried to hang out with their friends too just like how the other girls did too.

“For a while I lay still, listening to the sound of Maxon’s breathing.” (Kiera Cassm, chapter 1) In this scene it is a sweet moment where America sat and watched Maxon, embracing his life as hers. But us the readers don’t really know what exactly happened between them. The readers saw that those two shared their night together and that they must have loved each other and that they were happy when it was over. This is important because we can see that they liked them spending the night together and we didn’t see regret before or after they spent their time together. Almost at the end of the story America is having a hard time deciding who to choose from that she loved romantically, Aspen or Maxon.
